Thought he was forced out.

I never understood where that idea came from - Kevin Nolan around that time said that he’d wanted the move and Nolan advised him to go for it.

 

It is one of the handful of moments where I thought Ashley was absolutely right to do what he did - he played hardball and sold a player for well above what they were worth; it was obvious to anyone with eyes Carroll wasn’t the next big thing, he was a decent PL centre forward having a purple patch.  He was more Kevin Davies than Alan Shearer.  Dalglish proved once again that he didn’t have an eye for a player.

Nah, he was absolute quality and if he hadn’t had persistent injury issues he’d have had a top career in the PL. He was possibly the best at heading the ball the league has seen and he had a top left peg. He was also a nightmare to play against for defenders. Can’t remember if it was his ankles or his back but he was never the same after he left us and had an injury at Liverpool
